Let's see where this will take me...

Santorini, Greece

Santorini was another one of these places that apparently never rained, but that wasn't the case today. The town of Oia was like what you see in typical Greek pictures: white and blue houses. The water just makes it that much more radiant. You'll see once I upload my pictures (I lost my cord, so it'll have to wait until my memory card fills up and I put them on cds). Other than take pictures, there was only shopping to do. But the landscape and pictures made it worth it. I'd love to come back on a nice day. The cliffs were amazing! This is where Atlantis is said to have sunk. Another group took donkeys up to Fira but we bused and walked instead because it was wet and cold. We took a cable car down. This was our last night on the ship and at this point I was so sick of the food, I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich (but it was weird, cheese on a bun). I spent the night with new found friends and tried to soak in the last of these moments, since the next day would be the start of reality, back to Athens where I wouldn't be taken care of anymore.

This is definitely a place I have to come back, it was just so nice. But you're right, I was lucky, the streets were empty since I was there in low season

I LOVED Santorini. I stayed there in Oia, overlooking the cliffs and the crater, and the water. Best lodging view I've ever had. I'm sorry you had poor weather, but the other side of that is during the low season, you probably could take 3 steps without bumping into people. I was there at the tail end of the busy season, in September, and Greece, and especially Oia was SO crowded. Like annoyingly so. Like...not being able to walk for more than a few seconds during the day without bumping into people. And you know how narrow the streets & alleys were! lol Thankfully, my lodging was on the cliff away from all the hustle and bustle.

I could've skipped all the other islands I went to, and just stayed here in Oia! Truly remarkable views.
